Moving On

Friday was my last day at Sun Microsystems, and today is the first day at my new job (location coming soon). I’ve had a great time at Sun, and thank them for all the opportunities given to me there. I’ll be doing mostly the same work at the new gig, working on projects like Drizzle, but with a slightly different focus. For the most part my day-to-day won’t change much.

Right now I’m focusing on libdrizzle again and am implementing the prepared statement API, cleaning up the MySQL protocol support a little, and also implementing the new Drizzle client/server protocol. I’ll continue to work on Gearman as well, especially where it is relevant to Drizzle. I also need to start blogging again with specific topics in the projects I’m working on, I’ve been fairly quiet lately.

I’ll be in New Zealand next week at Linux Conf AU (yes, it’s not in AU this year). I have a talk on Gearman, and it looks like I’ll also be helping out with the Drizzle talk. It will be really nice to escape the Portland, OR winter for a bit. :)

   Congratz. Moving to a new place is fun and scary at the same time.
